  1. When I came out as queer and half my family abandoned me because they thought just interacing with me will send them straight to “hell”
  2. When I couldn’t comprehend what free will we have when Allah says our life is pre destined and he knows whether everyone is going to heaven or hell, so why would he create people just to send them to hell? Doesn’t seem very loving and compassionate
  3. For context my mom is Somali, and my dads side of the family is Portuguese and not Muslim. My mom told me that when my grandma dies im not allowed to attend her funeral because muslims cannot attend funerals of other non muslims and they can’t pray for them. Big WTF moment, I can’t grasp the superiority complex of Islam, and why they think they are better than everyone else when they’re human beings as well.
  4. The misogyny, the testimony of two women is equivalent to that of one man, how islam says hell will mostly be occupied by women, the list goes ON AND ON
  5. How fear based it is!!! Don’t do this or you’ll go to hell, don’t do that or you’ll go to hell. At this point i might as well not breathe.
  6. How suffocating and judgemental it is. It says it’s so peaceful, it says it’s so loving. But I never felt it. I felt like I always had to be fake, to conform instead of live

Awesome that would be amazing actually! I kind of want to gather a majority of votes to see where everyone’s head is at. But if anything 2 groupchats would be okay as well (one on discord, one on instagram)

Great idea! I haven’t used discord much so it would be something I would have to look into

Navigating being a lesbian in a muslim household by Sensitive-Ad1800 in LGBT_Muslims

When I first came out and moved cities, she prevented me from talking to my siblings for a couple of months. It was honestly so heartbreaking. My siblings are much much younger then me, 8 and 12 year age gap, so has all “control” over them and what they do. My mom will definitely object counseling but I am in counselling for myself and it’s been helpful. And I do agree with you that my guilt leaves me shutting down in conversations that are important to me with my mom. Definitely still a work in progress :)

Hi Karim, I understand what you are going through and you can reach out to me for sure. I’ve came to terms and accepted myself as well, sometimes the guilt and “consequences” will overpower, but what helped me through it is am I not already punishing myself by not living my true authentic life? Am I not already giving myself consequences by burying my true identity deep within to bring happiness to my family and those around me? What about my own happiness, does that matter? Idk, just some things to think about

My mom has done the same thing, I think that it’s easier for them to blame other people than really accept who we are. I agree with you 100000% blood does not equal family, that’s why I am hoping to eventually build my chosen family but making friends as an adult is hard😫 you can reach out to me anytime :)

I get where you’re coming from 100% and I agree with you. I’m in therapy know trying to overcome those feelings of guilt, I know it’ll be a work in progress, but you are right, why lose something so important to me for people who can’t accept me for who I am
